Will use this post to check in, and help myself get through the night.
Thank you for everything you've done for me, you are very kind.

Re: checking in
Oh gosh, Lee, I didn't mean that at all! I didn't mean to make you feel bad - I'm sorry. You're not a burden or a stress. I worry about you and am concerned for you, but I can handle the worry and concern. A burden or a stress I wouldn't handle very well. Does that make sense?
I know it's not your intention to burden anyone, as you're a considerate and kind person. @Lee71

Re: checking in
@NatureLover I just didn't see the point in contacting them again.
Are you doing ok ?

Do they say the same thing every time? (No need to answer that if you'd rather not) @Lee71
Thanks for asking, yes am doing better today as I get to stay home all day. I could stay home for the next few months easily, except that I know it's not very mentally healthy (agoraphobia), and plus I need to get groceries and go to a few medical appointments.

Re: checking in
No it's not that they say the same thing, they are actually quite good, and the people you talk to have lived experience.
Sorry for the delay in response I was at my doctors appointment . Not sure how I am feeling about it

Thanks for replying...that's interesting that they have lived experience, I didn't know that.
I was wondering what you'd decided to do about your doctor's appointment. Did it go badly?

@NatureLover It's kind of like lifeline, only during certain hours you can do phone calls or web chat, and anyone you talk to is trained and has lived mental health experience.

Of course Iwould reply, would be rude not to.
Doctors appointment, I was given another medication to assist with sleep. We talked a lot the doctor and I. For about an hour, I am having a booked assessment done.
But the thing is, she contacted the mental health team people, but according to them things aren't bad enough yet for them to take it on. My doctor tried explaining.
So I said to her, I pretty much have to make an attempt before its deemed serious enough, when if they helped me now it may not get to that point again.
It's frustrating, and has actually made things worse.
